Niagara waterfall

The Niagara Waterfall near Tuzi is a famous natural attraction on the Cemi River. Despite the name, it is not related to the real Niagara Falls in North America locals gave it that name because of the wide waterfall shape.

It sits right next to the well-known restaurant Niagara, which has a terrace directly overlooking the waterfall.

 Unlike many waterfalls, this one is seasonal and depends on water level.

               •             In winter and spring, when snow melts and rain increases the river flow, the waterfall becomes large and powerful.

               •             In summer, the water level drops and sometimes the waterfall becomes much smaller or almost disappears.

This happens because the Cemi River flows over limestone rocks, and when water levels are low it spreads into underground channels.

📸 Why it became famous

The place became famous mainly because of social media photos and drone videos showing the wide cascade waterfall.

It is now one of the most photographed places near Podgorica and Tuzi.

✅ Interesting fact:

Even though it is not very tall (about 10 meters), the waterfall looks very wide during high water, which is why people started calling it “Niagara”.
